And not coming back fully until Maryland reaches Stage 3.  That's not going to be by the fall.  [/quote]

I really hope we are there by Fall. These kids, especially the elem ones, need to be in school (and no, I don't use school for childcare). [/quote]

I don’t use school for childcare either but kids being in school for a portion of the day is a construct that allows parents, especially women, to work and earn a living. This is such a strange thing to even have to clarify.

Also agree, kids need school. Academically and socially. [/quote]

I posted that (about school and childcare) because there are several rabid posters on the school boards who scream about "school not being childcare" whenever people post about having to work. I can't figure out why they care so much, but maybe it's just their thing.

I agree that the construct of school is good for kids, and allows parents, especially women, to work. I work PT around my kid's schedule because he has SN, and part of that "schedule" is school for most of the day. [/quote]

"Good for kids?" How about necessary and critical? I can't believe so many of you think that our children's' education is dispensable. [/quote]

Education can occur safely in your living rooms and bedrooms. Plus, DCUM parents like to tell us that school attendance doesn’t matter and kids “learn so much more” from that trip to Disney when it’s not crowded or a mid-October week at the lake house than they ever learn in a classroom.

Babysitting can also occur in your home. It just won’t be free.[/quote]
